Cutbacks Mention on Reddit!

Thanks to Grainne Kirwan for spotting this 'cutbacks' related string on Reddit... Lots of good accurate critical analysis here...

Just discovered my old lecturer from college makes animated youtube videos in his spare time. They're actually pretty good! I think they deserve more than the handful of views they're getting.submitted 20 hours ago by gapmunkybolg 18 hours agoI remember these - used to watch them quite a bit with friends in/around 2011 especially the Mick n Ming ones...then for some reason a lot of them disappeared...anyways, this will make perfect procrastination material for my exam study!mcctaggart 18 hours agoI've been subscribed for a while and also think he deserves more views. I like his animation style and I admire how quickly he can put together a video about any particular current event. It must take a lot of work just making the puppets let alone animating them.But I think his satire needs to be stronger, more biting, fouler or darker or possibly surreal for people to notice. I think if he had a dedicated co-writer from the Scrap Saturday/Spitting Image mould, that would push the humour of the pieces and he would receive wide acclaim and probably a spot on tv in some capacity.

gapmunky 18 hours agoI think he'd be better if he satired world events more like in this bieber one. He usually only does very niche stuff in irish culture and politics that not many people would get.mcctaggart 18 hours agonah, there is a huge appetite for the satirization of politicians and figures in high society. Scrap Saturday used to be massive because the jokes ripped them apart.gapmunky 18 hours agoI've never heard of that until now! interesting.gapmunky 20 hours agoSorry about linking to the middle of the video! :/abitterthrowaway 1 point 13 hours agoThis one is excellent: http://youtu.be/Q6TY00yTFoAkarma-toes 12 hours agoStory of the week!brim4brim 9 hours agoUsed to listen to these all the time until I stopped going to YouTubedevilabit 13 hours agoI think he might need to improve the tag names on the video in youtube settings. The JB name should gather more views that way.OutRunTerminator 20 hours agoBetter than Podge and Rodge...http://www.reddit.com/r/ireland/comments/1w6sed/just_discovered_my_old_lecturer_from_college/
